Items You Need
If you are installing the Telephony Gateway yourself, make sure you have the following
items on hand before continuing:
Telephony Gateway package: see
(page 10) for a list of items in
the package.
Coaxial cable (coax): This is a round cable with a connector on each end. It is the
same kind of wire used to connect to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax
from any electronics retailer and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on
both ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on
connectors are best for use with your Telephony Gateway. The coax should be long
enough to reach from your Telephony Gateway to the nearest cable outlet.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and minimize or
eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Data Gateway.
Phone Cable: This is a standard phone cable with standard phone connectors (RJ11
type) on both ends. You can buy phone cables from any electronics retailer and many
discount stores.
Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a single outlet
into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected to the cable outlet
that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from any electronics retailer and most
discount stores; you may also need a short piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it
to connect the splitter to the cable outlet and then connect the Telephony Gateway and
TV to the splitter.
